Butch's Ballad - Gomez

Second time I saw you was the day I nearly died

Not thinkin' we’d be good friends

You’d just buried me alive

Now we ride together

Silver steed and mask to hide

Face that I was born with

One that Butch would recognize

He took my freedom and then my brother, Dan

He was the captain of the Texas Ranger team

That Butch just shot him down

And left him bleeding on the ground

Turned his horse’s head and sode to take my brothers town

Oh, the Lone Ranger

Ride my silvr steed

Breakin' out, laws to hand

Shootin' silver bullets

Tryin' to sav 'em while I can

Oh, the Lone Ranger

The violence may not end

With Tonto we’ll defend until we die

Onward we rode

For many nights and many days

Out in the open

Danger never far away

Until that day it came

I saw that Butch ridin' with his gang

I told him to his face all his evils and his wrongs

Said, «Listen Butch, you best just come along»

He laughed right back at me and asked for right to appeal

«Either that or you can serve me my last meal»

Oh, the Lone Ranger

I ride my silver steed

Breakin' out, laws to hand

Shootin' silver bullets

Tryin' to save 'em while I can

Oh, the Lone Ranger

The violence may not end

With Tonto we’ll defend until we die

Quiet desert sounds was all you could hear

You cage in a breath as the horses drew in air

«Yes, serve your last meal, that’s something I can do

Cold, hard silver is the last thing you’ll consume»

Oh, the Lone Ranger

I ride my silver steed

Breakin' out, laws to hand

Shootin' silver bullets

Tryin to save 'em while I can

Oh, the Lone Ranger

The violence may not end

With Tonto we’ll defend until we die

Oh, oh
